Yankees had deal with Tommy Hunter that fell through | New York Post

So CC and Nova are supposedly in competition for the last spot. I really hope CC gets the spot. I don't trust Nova

That's sad. Sabathia had a seven year stretch that was just amazing. Averaged almost 230 IP/regular season with a 3.14 ERA and 140 ERA+. That's the kind of fucking beast you don't see a lot of anymore. To think he's now fighting for a rotation spot with Ivan F. Nova is just depressing. I give him credit for going through the motions, but were I him and they sent me to AAA, I'd hang 'em up.

Tommy Hunter cannot control the running game. Look it up. His SB allowed is historically remarkable. Basically, he's got to get every hitter out, because if they reach first, they might as well be on third.

To be fair to CC, the other 4 guys ahead of him are good. Not like there's some shitty starter ahead of him.

The rotation isn't bad. No true #1 starters but a lot of #2 and #3 starters in our top 4

That's fine, but there's what, a handful of guys over the last couple decades that have accomplished what he did? And with the scratch he's earned, you wouldn't catch me playing in Buffalo.

I don't think he will be sent to AAA even if he lose the job. I think they would use him out of the pen. I fully expect him to win the competition. Nova is ass

I agree with all that. I watched him mature as a pitcher with the indians and beyond and am probably just being sentimental.

I don't like the word "cannot." I feel like it should be "can not" mostly because of the contraction "can't." How can you contract a single word? Wouldn't that be an abbreviation?

u must really hate won't (will not)

No, that makes sense. Contractions are two words put together and contracted to one. Couldn't, they'll, isn't, hasn't, he'd, she'll, and on and on - all two words contracted to one, but cannot is already one word.

Just do like the Giants fans did and call everyone who says that "haters" and remind us how "cute Panda is" all the time.

Update for you @HammerDown

Bruce-to-Jays trade talks hit snag, sources say

 

[bksballer89]

So Bautista who turning 36 years old in Octoberwants 5 yrs/150 million next winter lmao

 

[tducey]

Yeah, Bautista's dreaming if he think he's getting anywhere close to that type of money. If Toronto does get Bruce I'd expect them to move Bautista for pitching help.

David Ortiz's domestic violence remarks a reminder that MLB has work to do

Ugh. Come on, David.
